On 7 September 2026, according to the judiciary's note, María Tardón declared the Audiencia Nacional competent. The classification is provisional: offences that compromise the peace or independence of the State, offences against the rights of foreign citizens in connection with reckless homicide, and criminal organization. The note speaks of 83 deaths accredited in Spanish waters, a figure distinct from CENIF's 82 and from Morocco's 14.

• The note says the events took place on 30 and 31 July and that the judge does not name investigated persons in that text.
• It records that the order refers to 83 deaths accredited so far in Spanish waters, by drowning or crushing. That is the order's figure, not the CENIF report's.
• «Attack» and «hybrid war» appear as the judge's reasoning in a provisional examination, not as a conclusion of this archive.
